I was forced to manufacture just what you are talking about. With customers leaving my shop (I'm now referring to customers I did before making my intakes with a billet manifold tig welded to the intake) with the "best commercially available" part for the job, and they start having coolant in the valley,,, That's UNACCEPTABLE in my shop. Hell, I've pointed it out to some customers that had no idea it was leaking. I'm just not willing to overlook anything that isn't right. My machinist actually said the big mount hole isn't located at the right elevation and it tweaks the coolant port in the intake bore. Mine are made using the oil cooler housing and adapter plate as the template. I've got them right now and can't keep them in stock. The local crowd buys them up. Oh,, I also ultrasonic clean the intakes and polish all the mating flanges on the intakes. They look GREAT!!!!
I've seen your resolution. But on your website I can't find a link to buy the product. I think you're doing it right and by totally eliminating a leak point is a bonus and I'm interested. Any help?
What you got to figure out is how to make a set up with a coolant filter before the oil cooler that can be service in a snap. That would sell like hotcakes. Then sell it cheaper than him. He pissed me off a couple of times when I was thinking about opening a shop. A little too arrogant for my taste. That's why I bought it from you if you recall.
Just adding another data point but 20K on my IPR Gen2. No leaks. Vince answered an email over the weekend and even expedited shipping on his dime. No complaints.
My IPR remote cooler, filter and high flow EGR cooler have been fine for 20,000 miles, I haven't talked with him in a while. When I ordered oil filter O-rings they were shipped quickly.

Bill don't forget if you do filter before the oil cooler you do need a bypass valve
just incase you do plug the filter. I think in addition to the bypass valve a warning
device would be a very good idea.
Anthony maybe it time to start looking for someone that you can train to help Julie.
After all she is in a very important job that a lot of shops under look. The trick is
finding the right person that cares and is willing to learn from the bottom up.
Because you need someone that is very detail oriented you might look at an
FAA approved Mechanics school for some prospects.

You just watch the Delta. When it goes up, you know it's time to clean the filter. A bypass would be just unscrew the cap and pull the filter out and run without it installed, but you might as well just wash the junk out of it. You could do it at a gas station bathroom sink, just need some gloves to handle the hot housing when taking the filter out.
If your not driving it and the person that is for some reason is
not watching the delta would kill the truck. You should always
plan for people not paying attention to things and in that case
a light on the dash or a buzzer would let them know something
is wrong.
Contrary to the belief that stupid people don't sometimes drive
a truck. They do and you never know if one may be driving yours
back home for you if you are in the back of an ambulance and your
friend is helping you out. You don't want to add to the problem with
a simple plugged filter killing the truck.
Oh, well I do believe the stock computer lights up the gear/wrench light on the dash when the Delta gets excessive. I saw that on my 05 dually. That function would still work, where the delta is an earlier indicator, but yeah it would be possible to also light something up sooner than the factory does. If you go to the trouble of doing that I'd suggest making it adjustable since we basically already have one that isn't adjustable.
After having my filter in for 2 years I can honestly say that I have never seen it plug up nor has it ever really gotten dirty. I carry the tools to clean it just in case. It all depends on the engines cooling system health.

Bypass valve and a indicator is just a CYA. Your quite welcome to take the risks.
From a business point the cost to risk can mean loosing all you have put into it.
We all know that the way the courts work even the winner looses. The only one
to make out is the lawyers.
Believe me I know how that works better than anybody. What kills me is a doctor damn near kills my wife and I can't get a lawyer to sue the ******* because no Nero surgeons will testify against another in NJ. Go figure,.....
Not sure what the rest of you are talking about but am curious why run6.0run is getting so many failures from the IPR GEN2 delete? First I've heard and generally it's regarded as the best.
Where exactly are they leaking and are all failures the same?
